Poor gal, parents must not have loved her

Shameless plug over.

Again, congratulations on graduation and the graduation present.

Merry Christmas!

Rims will definitely be one of my first mods.

What does that do to warranty? My mom made sure to tell me all about the extra money they spent on an extended warranty, so don't eff it up.

well the common thing in texas is to get a mustang in general. Thats the end-all-be-all sports car. if its a mustang and its got a v8, its FAST! (stated in a very sarcastic southern accent)

So, new news... my rear speakers don't work

When I switch the fade to the Rear speakers, there is no sound. At first I was like oh wait, i don't have the premium sound package, I don't have rear speakers. Then I figured that was silly, so i looked and there are speaker grills... just no sound. There are rear speakers in the base sound package, right?

Reaper333 · 12-24-2011, 06:25 PM

First of all welcome and congrats on the Z. Thats awesome of your parents to do that for you. As for the speakers in the rear. I could have sworn I read on here somewhere that there is no speakers back there just grill with the standard setup. When you get the upgraded package you get the rear fill speakers. Better off going aftermarket anyways. Well enjoy your new toy. Merry Christmas...

KingZee · 12-24-2011, 06:31 PM

Congrats on the Z and on your graduation! ...Sorry bud, no speakers in the rear on the base, the first thing I did was a full stereo install and 6 speaker replacement on my car, stock system is horrible and I haven't read much good on the Bose either.

Mai-z · 12-24-2011, 07:17 PM

haha thats so jankity! Excuse my improper terminology. Sounds like I'm in the market for some speakers, what size are they? 6x9 i'd assume.

The only thing a high flow cat, cat back, our test pipe can legally void is your exhaust (which u will be replacing anyways. Other than that, your good to go. voids nothing else engineor drivetrain related
